Description
Dexter Axle was founded in 1960 when Leonard Dexter began producing axles from a single plant in Elkhart, Indiana. Six years later Dexter Axle was purchased by Philips Industries, Inc., which was headquartered in Dayton, Ohio. In 1990, after years of continual growth and expansion, Dexter Axle became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tomkins PLC, a multi-billion dollar conglomerate headquartered in London, England.Since 1960, Dexter Axle has been committed to producing the highest quality products available in the marketplace. A strict quality system drives production with statistical monitoring and control, standard practice instructions for every function in each plant, supplier rating systems and audits, and certification training of all production employees.Dexter's manufacturing facilities employ state-of-the-art robotics, precision welding equipment, and automated machining processes. Our comprehensive in-house laboratory performs rigorous stress, fatigue, and metallurgical testing while computer equipped test vehicles analyze actual product performance.
